  • Patent number: 8624507
    Abstract: The present invention overcomes image defects such as the brightness inclination or smears by reducing the line resistance of a power source bus line which supplies electricity to organic EL elements. A plurality of pixels which are arranged in a matrix array is connected to power source lines, and the plurality of power source lines are connected to a power source bus line. Both ends of the power source bus line are connected to a power source part via a FPC. By supplying electricity to both ends of the power source bus line from the power source part, the line resistance of the power source bus line can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8456401
    Abstract: The gate electrode is formed above the polycrystalline semiconductor layer through the gate insulating film. The polycrystalline semiconductor layer includes a first region overlapping with the gate electrode in plan view. The first region is sandwiched between the second region and the third region. The second region of the polycrystalline semiconductor layer includes a first impurity diffusion region and two second impurity diffusion regions opposite in conductivity type to the first impurity diffusion region. The first region and the first impurity diffusion region are in contact with each other at a first boundary. The first region and the two second impurity diffusion regions are in contact with each other at second boundaries. The two second impurity diffusion regions sandwiching the first impurity diffusion region are provided along the gate electrode. Thus, a leak current is suppressed.

    Abstract: A display apparatus includes data lines, scanning lines arranged to cross the data lines, and pixel circuits aligning along the data lines and the scanning lines, such that one of the pixel circuits corresponds to each intersection between the data lines and the scanning lines. In addition, image signal lines transmit image signals, and switches connect the data lines to the image signal lines so that each of the data lines is connected to one of the image signal lines. The data lines are arranged such that adjacent data lines form a pair of data lines, and adjacent pairs of data lines are spaced apart from each other by two columns of pixel-circuits. Respective data lines of the pair of data lines are connected by the switches to two different image signal lines, and the switches connecting the pair of data lines to corresponding image signal lines are activated simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 8207918
    Abstract: During a first period of a set period, a reset switch element of each pixel is turned on to converge a voltage at a control electrode of a TFT to a predetermined voltage, and a step signal having a first voltage level is supplied from a step signal generation circuit. During a second period of the set period, the reset switch element is turned off, and a step signal having a second voltage level is supplied from the step signal generation circuit, whereby a voltage exceeding a second power supply voltage or a voltage exceeding a voltage range supplied from a signal driver section is input as a characteristic value set voltage to the control electrode. Accordingly, even when a relationship between a gate voltage and a drain current of the thin film transistor exhibits a hysteresis characteristic, uniform display can be achieved.
